! "Under Handicap" is a story of New
York and the desert, principally the
'desert. It shows the workings of a
j gigantic reclamation project, the prob-
jlem of wresting great gifts from na
jture. Its greatest lesson is perhaps
I to win from nature requires grit and
j strength, both moral and physical. It
lis partly because Lockwood plays are.
jso clean that the public has learned
I to trust them and Lockwood and to
jwant more of them.
